Messiah Lutheran Preschool is a ministry of Messiah Lutheran Church. We are a Christian preschool, and we intentionally teach children about Jesus—His love, His forgiveness, and His care for every person. Our faith is not just a value we reference; it is woven into who we are and how we teach.
Families of all faith backgrounds are welcome, and children do not need to be Lutheran to enroll. Throughout the week, children participate in simple prayers, Bible stories, songs, and chapel in ways that are joyful and appropriate for young learners.
